Each week, I’ll look at snaps, usage, touches, target shares
and pull out the highlights you need to know.
Another rough week on the injury front…
49ers Testing Their Depth at WR
Deebo
Samuel: 75.9% snaps, 8.7% rush share,
0% tgt share
KhaDarel
Hodge: 55.6% snaps, 0% tgt share
Mike Evans:
33.3% snaps, 23.1% tgt share
Jacob
Cowing: 31.5% snaps, 7.7% tgt share
Jordan
Watkins: 27.8% snaps, 7.7% tgt share
Mike Evans (6 tgts) left early with a rib injury and only three
of the five wide receivers San Francisco used against the Cardinals
had a target. Wild.
Deebo Samuel scored 15.4 FPts in half-ppr leagues, had zero targets,
despite running a route on 75.8% of Purdy’s dropbacks. Crazy.
The 49ers wideout injuries are piling up…
If Kirk is able to return in Week 5, he’ll likely step
into a starting role out of necessity.
Zay Flowers Limited, Still Delivers

One of the tricky spots in Week 3 was Zay Flowers who was a gametime
decision due to a hamstring injury. He was limited to just 21
snaps (32.8%) behind Rashod Bateman (87.5%) and Chris Moore (51.6%)
but led the team with a 30% target share, and managed a 5-84-0
line plus a 20-yard run.
The Ravens played five wideouts but went run-heavy against the
Cowboys (38 rush attempts) with Lamar throwing the ball just 20
times.
Mark Andrews (51.6% snaps) missed a big chunk of this game with
a hand injury.
Patriots Turn Back to Rhamondre
Rhamondre
Stevenson: 52.4% snaps, 26.9% rush
share, 10.0% tgt share
TreVeyon
Henderson: 36.5% snaps, 30.8% rush
share, 3.3% tgt share
Corey
Kiner: 12.7% snaps, 23.1% rush share,
3.3% tgt share
The Patriots have history of not punishing Rhamondre Stevenson
the following week for his fumbles and that happened again in
Week 3. Rhamondre out-snapped TreVeyon Henderson 33 to 23 and
was working as the third-down back. The Patriots poor offensive
performance led to a blowout and just 15 combined carries (Henderson
8, Rhamondre 7) for their two starters and allowed third RB Corey Kiner to have 7 touches.
Other Week 3 Notes...
- Jeremiyah
Love flipped the script on Tyler
Allgeier this week, out-snapping the veteran 56 - 31, handling
26 touches to Allgeier’s 6. Love’s 77.8% rush share ranked 3rd
among RBs this week.
- Michael
Wilson (17) and Trey
McBride (11) combined for 28 targets for the Cardinals.
Marvin
Harrison Jr. had 5 targets.
- Quarterback makes a difference in Atlanta. With Michael
Penix Jr. under center, Drake
London (10 tgts) saw a 43.5% target share, highest among
any WR this week. No other ATL receiver had more than 3 targets.
- Kyle Pitts
has 6 targets, 2 catches, 20 yards in the three games.
- Just 26 pass attempts for Josh
Allen led to low volume for the pass catchers. D.J.
Moore (63.6% snaps) played through his shoulder injury and
led the team with 10 tgts, good for a 38.5% tgt share.
- Chuba Hubbard
had the highest rush share (82.6%) for any RB this week. He
out-touched AJ
Dillon 23 to 5.
- Jalen Coker
played just 36.4% of the snaps for Carolina, leaving with a
quad injury. Brycen
Tremayne filled in, playing 80.5% of the snaps and saw a
14.3% target share.
- Tetairoa
McMillan had just an 11.9% target share as Bryce
Young spread the ball around to 10 different players. TE
Darren Waller
led the team with 8 targets.
- Ja'Marr
Chase played every snap for the Bengals and finished with
a 32.4% target share. With Andrei
Iosivas out, Dohnte
Meyers (5 tgts) filled the No.3 wideout role, playing 56.1%
of the snaps.
- KC Concepcion
(2-9-0) and Harold
Fannin Jr. (7-51-2) both had 9 targets for the Browns. Quinshon
Judkins handled 20 of 25 running back touches.
- Emari
Demercado was Inactive for Dallas leaving Tyler
Goodson (14.9% snaps) as the backup to Javonte
Williams (75.7% snaps).
- The Broncos used three tight ends against the Rams. They combined
for 4 targets. Pat
Bryant (2 tgts) continues to operate as the No.3 WR, playing
70.1% of the snaps.
- Without Jonah
Coleman, Tyler
Badie (2 touches) was worked in as the third RB in Denver.
J.K. Dobbins
had a 68.0% rush share. RJ
Harvey had a 22.6% tgt share.
- Jahmyr Gibbs
is averaging 26.7 touches per game through three weeks.
- Skyy Moore
(13.7% tgt share) filled in as the 3rd wideout for the Packers,
playing 51.5% of the snaps. The running back room is a three-way
committee with no production to speak of. Kaleb
Johnson and MarShawn
Lloyd both had 44.4% rush share. Chris
Brooks (1 touch) plays on passing downs.
- The Texans refuse to give Jaylin
Noel (8% tgt share) a consistent meaningful role in the
offense. He was 4th in the WR room in routes run this week behind
Kayshon Boutte
(26), Xavier
Hutchinson (20), Jared
Wayne 18, Jaylin
Noel (10). TE Dalton Shchultz had a 12% tgt share.
- Josh Downs
(11 tgts) led the Colts with a 31.4% tgt share. Laquon
Treadwell (78.9% snaps) played the clear-out role and had
just a 2.9% target share.
- Brian
Thomas Jr. (3.7% tgt share) is already on thin ice given
the nature of the offense, but drops and blowouts don’t help
his underlying data. He played just 37.1% of the snaps, alongside
Josh Cameron.
Jakobi Meyers
(80.6% snaps) had a 29.6% target share.
- QB Trevor
Lawrence took a knee at the 1-yard line with 8 minutes left
in the game, allowing Bhayshul
Tuten (50% rush share) get an easy rushing TD.
- Rashee Rice
(9 tgts) had a 39.1% target share for the Chiefs. Travis
Kelce (2-59-1) had just 2 targets, but made the most of
them.
- Welcome to the 2026 season Brock
Bowers! The Raiders only legitimate receiving threat jumped
into a 43.3% target share, playing 78.6% of the snaps. Don’t
be quick to drop Michael
Mayer. He played 87.1% of the snaps. Expect the Raiders
to play a lot of two TE sets.
- With David
Njoku and Charlie
Kolar out, Oronde
Gadsden saw a 66% route share against the Bills. That led
to 3 targets (9% tgt share). I wouldn’t be quick to drop him,
but the overall offensive environment is cause for concern.
- 15 touches for Omarion
Hampton this week – all runs, 11 touches for Keaton
Mitchell (8 carries, 3 catches).
- The Rams played another game without Puka
Nacua and it was another game with Davante
Adams dominating target share (26.5%). Konata
Mumpfield (16.3% tgt share) was fantasy viable considering
Matthew
Stafford threw the ball 55 times.
- TE Terrance
Ferguson aggravated his ankle injury and played just 25.6%
of the snaps.
- RB Jaylen
Wright (stinger, foot) was inactive for the Dolphins allowing
Ollie
Gordon II to handle 20 RB touches in the wake of De'Von
Achane’s first quarter ACL injury. Gordon will be back to
split the workload on an offense that will lack scoring and
efficiency.
- The Vikings lost Justin
Jefferson (11.9% snaps) in this game to an ankle injury.
Jauan Jennings
(79.7% snaps) and Tai
Felton (54.2% snaps) were next up on the depth chart. Jordan
Addison led the team with a 36% target share.
- The Patriots got blown out by the Jags. Drake
Maye has 1 TD and 6 INTs through three games. Mack
Hollins (9 tgts) had a 30% target share.
- The Saints used a tight three wide receiver rotation of Devaughn
Vele (87.8% snaps), Chris
Olave (83.8%) and Bryce
Lance (71.6%). All four of Shough’s passing TDs went to
the tight ends. Juwan
Johnson had a 20% target share.
- The Giants went run-heavy (33 carries) in their ugly game
with the Titans. Jameis
Winston threw the ball just 22 times. Najee
Harris (9 touches) worked as the backup running back. Devin
Singletary was Inactive.
- With Adonai
Mitchell and Mason
Taylor out, WR Isaiah
Williams (2 tgts) played 89.4% of the snaps for the Jets.
Rookie TE Kenyon
Sadiq (8 tgts) played 57.6% of the snaps and had a 22.2%
target share. Garrett
Wilson had a 36.1% target share.
- With Rico
Dowdle out, Jaylen
Warren played 90.3% of the snaps for the Steelers, the highest
snap percentage for any RB this week. The Steelers had six plays
of 20-plus yards including gains of 47, 38, 35, 30, 23, & 22.
- Another week of three-headed RBBC for the Seahawks. Fumble
by Jadarian
Price (6 touches). Emanuel
Wilson (9 touches) led the group with a 50% rush share.
George Holani
had 8 touches.
- The Bucs will lost Baker
Mayfield (thumb) for the at least the next three weeks.
Bucky Irving
had a strong 71.4% rush share while Kenneth
Gainwell had just 5 touches.
- Ted Hurst
played the most snaps (75.4%) of any Bucs wideout as Jalen
McMillan left with a knee injury. Emeka
Egbuka led the group with a 25.7% tgt share.
- Elic Ayomanor
(3 tgts) played 80% of the snaps for the Titans, but Tennessee
focused on the short passing game with Wan’Dale Robinson (31.4%
tgt share).
- Jacory
Croskey-Merritt was wildly inefficient with his 20 touches
(19-36-0, 1-7-0). The Commanders used six WRs with Terry McLaurin
registering a 30% target share.
- Kalif Raymond (7 tgts) continues to be a big part of the Bears
receiver rotation and caps the ceiling for the rest of the Bears
pass catchers. Luther Burden III led the team with 11 targets.
Rome Odunze led in snaps at 61%.
- The Eagles turned in an embarrassing performance Monday night
against one of the worst defenses in the league. They ran a
tight WR rotation with DeVonta Smith (100% snaps), Dontayvion Wicks (88%) and Makai Lemon (70%).
- Veteran tight end Zach Ertz played 38% of the snaps for the
Eagles and saw 2 targets. Johnny Mundt played 52% of the snaps
and had 1 target.
